APPEAL DISMISSED

Assistant Appellate Defender Aileen P. Clare, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General Christopher L. Newton, all of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: �Harold Watts appeals the dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus.� Watts contends the circuit court erred in allegedly refusing to address the subject matter jurisdiction claim in his petition.� Watts� counsel attached a petition to be relieved, stating she reviewed the record and concluded this appeal lacks merit.� Watts did not file a pro se response brief.� After a thorough review of the record and counsel�s brief, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss Watts� appeal and grant counsel�s motion to be relieved.[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED.

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, JJ., concur.
